Some of the best sushi you'll have outside Kamakura (and yes, I know). Niki's won't win any awards for interior design, but the food is top-notch. The sushi can be a long wait if you arrive too late on a Friday or Saturday. The staff won't try and make you feel special. Niki is an established restaurant with no desire for tourists, but they are dear friends to us locals. Be cool, and you will have some excellent food.
